At the Sky Club.

As Todd pushed open the door, he saw Aydan holding a microphone and wailing like a ghost.

Phillip leaned against the sofa in stark contrast and put on a poker face.

They were in the same room, but Aydan and Phillip seemed to be in different areas.

One was in a bustling street while the other was in a meditation room.

Todd scanned around and sat down beside Phillip.

He put one leg up and across the other and said casually, "Hey, man, do you know what a great opportunity it is? How can you let it slip easily?"

It wasn't easy to see Daisy put off her disguise, but Todd hadn't even done anything...

Phillip sat as still as a defined sculpture.

Todd rubbed his nose and tried to liven up the atmosphere by making a joke.

"Your woman took Daisy away from my house, and she looked at me like I was a rogue. We are as close as family, right? You have to speak something nice to me. I look like a charming playboy, but in a good way!"

As Todd's voice fell, he felt a chill all over his body.

Todd had no idea when he provoked the 'icy statue,' whose expression changed from composure to gloominess. He caught a glimpse of Phillip's eyes that sent a chill down his spine.

Todd's heart skipped a beat, and his brain ran rapidly.

'Did they break up as Aydan said?'

Todd rubbed his chin, moved to Aydan's side, and patted his shoulder.

Aydan was singing while He noticed Todd's uncomfortable look.

"Todd, did you fail? Look at the slap on your face."

Todd furrowed his brows and waved Aydan's hand away. He raised his chin at Phillip, drinking alone on the sofa.

"Did he break up with Ann?"

"He failed even with your help. Phillip likely gives up this time," Aydan said, spreading his hands.

Todd waved Aydan to come closer and then whispered something into his ear.

Aydan screwed up his face as he peeped at Phillip.

"Are you sure he won't throw us out of the window after that?" Aydan doubted Todd's plan.

Todd beamed at Aydan, "I don't know. Why don't you give it a try? If you want to see Phillip sink in this trouble forever, then keep singing." Aydan hesitated for a while and nodded.

The Sky Club's manager opened the door and nudged some young women into the private room. They were lined up in a row facing the sofa.

The fat manager gave a fawning smile and looked at the three men.

"Mr. Phillip, Mr. Todd, these are the most beautiful chicks in our club. By the way, they are fresh!"

Todd drifted his eyes around the girls of all kinds, including the girl-next-door type, the hot and sexy type, the Lolita-cute type, and the conservative type... Finally, Todd stopped his scan on a young girl standing at the side, and his eyes lit up.

"You, what's your name?" He pointed at the girl and asked.

The girl was chickened out, but she pulled herself together and answered his question.

"Anny."

Todd was satisfied with this girl because she looked like Ann and had a similar name as Ann.

The smile on Todd's face deepened, "It's you. Come and sit. Tonight, you have to make Mr. Phillip happy. First, fill the glass for him!"

When Aydan saw Anny's face, his eyes almost popped out of the sockets.

Although she was not as pretty as Ann, she was indeed somewhat similar to her.

Aydan was scared and hated Todd dragging him into this muddy thing!

Aydan slowly scooted away from Phillip and Todd, but his eyes were attached to the situation.

Phillip's forceful vibe scared Anny, so she trembly picked up the wine bottle, walked to Phillip's side, and carefully filled up the glass in Phillip's hand.

She then sat down beside Phillip with Todd's gesture.

Phillip neither moved nor drove Anny away.

He gave an intimidating look at the girl.

His eyes drifted upwards from Anny's chin to her pretty nose.

Then they stopped at her nose.

"Do you want to leave this place?"

Anny was startled.

"Make me happy, and then I will give you freedom."

The young girls who worked here most were willing to do so, but some were forced to earn a living for this.

Anny was the latter.

Anny was confused as she glanced at Todd, who seemed easier to talk to.

Todd curled his lips and gestured for her to continue.

Aydan widened his eyes in surprise!

'Is Philip serious?'

Anny pursed her lips. After a while, her slender fingers slowly glided from Phillip's arm to his shoulder. Anny unbuttoned his shirt and walked her fingers into it, but suddenly someone stopped her. Phillip stared intently into her eyes.

He saw fear in Anny's eyes.

And he also saw Ann in her eyes.

Ann's eyes looked bright and determined. Even after what happened five years ago, she never gave up her hope.

A twinge of sorrow gleamed in Philip's eyes, and he squeezed Anny's arm tight.

Anny's painful moan pulled Philip out of his anger. His eyes were as calm as a frozen lake without any waves. Philip got the woman off him.

"Scram!" He said in a frosty tone.

Philip's coldness filled the entire room in an instant. The manager looked at Todd in panic.

Todd had already predicted this and waved the manager out of the room.

Silence overwhelmed the room.

Todd pretended not to care about Phillip as he picked up a glass and filled it with wine.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about relationships. But we're men. Let's act like a man."

"If you want to give up, we can booze and get wasted tonight. If you don't, you have to pull yourself together and take Ann down. Women acted as they thought. After a long time, she can't leave you! Phillip lowered his eyes, but his lips curled up into a bitter sneer.

He gulped down the wine in his glass.

How could Phillip get stuck in the marsh if it was that simple?¶¶¶¶
